Guide to Rear Shocks for Ladder Bar Drag Car (Pro Street)

Curious about how moving the shocks ahead of the axle improved a ladder bar separation issue? Can't say that I've made that move myself, but I would think moving the shocks closer to the ladder bar's front pivot point would make them less effective.

It didn’t change the separation. Moving the shocks to the front of the axle changes the motion ratio and the shock speed slows down. We were trying to get the shock speed under control.
